I wrote here how excited I was about the latest version of Three Musketeers before it even came out. Sadly, I never did get to see it in the theater, but this last weekend, I was was able to see it on blue-ray.

The first half (maybe two-thirds) of the movie was boring. Starting with the raid on theTower of London, it turned into a pretty fun action movie. Since I like action movies and airships, that made me happy.

I thought the three Musketeers were well cast, but just was not feeling it for either D’Artagnan or Louis.

Finally finished watchingRomethis weekend.

The series was very good, and we are thrilled when we see either Lucius Vorenus or Titus Pullo in other shows and movies. (And no, I have no idea what the actors’ names are. They will forever be Vorenus and Pullo to me.)

There were some parts where the series lagged, and we wondered why we kept watching it. Then we would watch the next episode and go- oh yeah, that’s why.

The series ending was fulfilling. I liked how most of the storylines were wrapped up, and how some were brought full circle.

There are a few upcoming movies that we will definitely see in the theater.  Coming soon is the new Conan, and then there’s John Carter of Mars (whenever it’s due out), and this weekend, we saw a preview for a new Three Musketeers movie. I MUST see this.

I love Three Musketeers movies, especially the ones that do not take themselves seriously. This new on has Orlando Bloom as a bad guy, zeppelin battles- that’s right, there are airships in the new Musketeers, and, as icing on the cake, Ray Stevenson (known to Rome fans as Titus Pullo) as Porthos.
